Two more weeks of side comics before we cut back to the main storyline. Right now, we have an art competition and a haunting to look into.
We may have run out of horse-ape specials to mitigate the intraseasonal hiatus, but there’s no rest for the cardy. After all, I still have a whole lot of comics to get through, and this week, we’re resuming the IDW rundown with a bang. Or possibly a prolonged whimper; I only know the broad strokes of this storyline. Let’s see which is the more apt description.
This week, we have one of several issues that directly connect to Season 7 episodes, along with the penultimate Friends Forever. Let’s begin.
This week, we have consecutive single-issue Season 7 follow-ups, one of which I have been very eagerly anticipating.
New Year’s Eve. When better to do an annual? Though Free Comic Book Day would also be suitable with this one, but I don’t have nearly enough comics in reserve to delay it that long. So, let’s look at what the Power Ponies are like when they aren’t the Mane Six.
Be advised, there may be a new episode coming this Friday at 2 PM. It’s clear that Discovery Family’s “Summer Surprises” is code for “lol what’s regular, predictable scheduling.” On a similar note, today’s comic took me off-guard during my scheduling.
A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short. Let’s make this last card blog of the intraseasonal hiatus worth the wait.
Hello, all. I'm deviating from the main series this week to at least start the other comic lines; the first issues of both the single-character-focused micro-series and the two-character-focused Friends Forever line. Let's see where this takes us.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Let’s see how much luck Stygian has with assembling the superteam of pony antiquity.
We move to the back half of this wave of G5 content, which in this case means the comics. With the Discord arc concluded, let’s see if that ends up having any bearing on future issues.
I was going to do the 2016 annual this week… but it doesn’t appear to exist. Bit of a problem. In the spirit of an alternate version of me having one to work with, let’s look at the MLP editions of IDW’s recent Elseworlds events.
Well, this is a bit sad. These issues could well be the very last pieces of official G4 pony media. There’s always the possibility of a third round on MLP/Transformers or the like, but this is the last bit on the horizon. Let’s see how well it works as a capstone.
I mean, seriously, the sheer number of Sonic-related media that was released last year is simply ridiculous:
1) The highly anticipated sequel to the surprisingly well-received live-action movie from 2020
2) A new 3D platformer game that features the very first open world of the series
This week, we have one of those awkward one-shot comics sitting between two multi-issue storylines, made all the more awkward by a marked absence of other comics to pair it with. As such, we’re drawing from one of the shorter stories folks have volunteered for cardification as well.
Thanks to the side issues, there’s actually quite a few pony comics for me to review in the coming weeks. Let’s start attacking that in-box.
Ponyville is many things. One could see it as Celestia's greatest societal success story, where all ponies live together in harmony. One could see it as a hub of adventure, with the Everfree right next door and the capital a few hours away by hoof. One could just see it as a sleepy suburb of Canterlot that got a whole lot more interesting once the new librarian came to town. But in the end, there is one truth that no interpretation can deny:
This week, the spotlight’s pointed at some secondary characters, with new creations and old grudges on display. Sounds like fun to me.
Happy New Year! Let’s start it right. And by “right,” I of course mean “with trading cards.”
One could argue that I should be doing something from the main comics, but I feel the holiday special counts. Besides, this lets me delay some of the more egregiously stupid storylines for another week, which is definitely a win in my book. So, let’s take a look at two stories of friendships in trying times.
Princess Celestia and Pinkie Pie. There'd better be cake. Written by Christina Rice and art by Jay Fosgitt? The words "as hit-and-miss as an auto-shotgun held by someone on a trampoline" comes to mind.
Luna and the CMC? How can this go wrong? ...Jeremy Whitley, Jay Fosgitt, Heather Breckel. Well if you wanted to actually screw up this concept, that's about the best chance you could give it.
